subject: A Gravity Water Filter Gives You Clean Water In Your Home All Of The Time [print this page] We use the water that is piped into out home without giving it much thought anymore. You just turn on the tap and there it is. This is a wonderful thing, but what is not so wonderful anymore is what might be in that water coming out of your tap. Those that are accustomed to using water from a well are acquainted with issues like rust, lime and some different types of bacteria, but those that have a city water supply assume their water is safe to drink because it goes through a treatment plant before it reaches their home. It is a mistake to believe that your water is completely safe just because you get it from a city supply.
In recent years there has been a lot of testing going on in water treatment facilities and it is simply disgusting to think about some of the things they have found in water that had supposedly already been cleaned. There are huge traces of drugs that people wash down their sinks or flush down their toilet. Human waste will contain whatever a person has ingested and that ends up in the toilet and flushed into the sewer system. As horrid as it sounds, this is the water they clean and the return to your home for you and your family to use. Drugs, pesticides, herbicides and plenty of other hazardous elements have been found in water that was supposed to be clean.
Cleaning the water that comes into your home is very simple. Most people think that they need an elaborate set up of some kind to get clean drinking water, but that simply is not true. There are gravity water filters that can sit right on your counter top or on a stand. They use no electricity or batteries. They use two plastic tanks that sit one on top of the other. The top tank holds the filter and the water if placed in it and it drips down into the bottom tank. They are large enough to hold two gallons of water at a time and can be purchased for around $200.00 dollars or so.
Having one of these gravity water filters in your home is a great idea. Many people that are afraid of their home water supply still use it to bathe and clean, but they will buy gallons of water at the store to bring home for drinking and cooking. This is alright to do, but it can get expensive after a while. There is no reason you can not use your own tap water as long as it is filtered. Having a gravity water filter means you just fill up a couple of jugs of water right from your faucet and pour it into the top tank. After a little while it will drip it's way through the filter and into the bottom tank. This means there are no weird and complicated contraptions hooked up to your sink. The filters for the gravity operated water tanks can be cleaned over and over again meaning they will last for several years or longer with proper cleaning. It could not be simpler to have the purest water possible in your home.
